Estonia Visa

Estonia's Visa Types

Estonia, like other Schengen Area countries, mainly offers the Schengen Visa (Type C) for short visits. This visa allows visits up to 90 days within any 180-day period in Estonia and the wider Schengen Zone. The kind of visa you need depends on your travel reason:

• Tourist Visa: For holidays, sightseeing, exploring cities, historical sites, national parks, or visiting friends and family.
• Business Visa: For professionals attending conferences, business meetings, or exploring opportunities in Estonia. An official invitation letter from an Estonian company is often required.

Traveriya will provide a precise, personalized checklist. Generally, you’ll need:

• Your original passport: It must be valid for at least 3 months after you plan to leave the Schengen Area, issued within the last 10 years, and have at least two blank pages. Any old passports should also be submitted.
• The completed and signed Visa Application Form.
